The Institute is governed by a Board of Directors and four Officers, all of whom serve without compensation and pay all personal expenses related to Institute business. An independent Advisory Board offers program and operational advice to the governing board, based on their individual area of expertise. All advisors similarly serve as volunteers without compensation.
